Note about this food
Corn starch is the starch fraction of the maize kernel, separated from its protein and its oil, and what is left is a glucose polysaccharide hundreds of units long. Length is the whole question on the FODMAP axes: a fermentable carbohydrate there is three or four units, and a starch is two orders of magnitude above that — the small intestine digests it to glucose instead of the colon fermenting it. Having been separated from the protein, it also carries no gluten.
